Our Story

THE GOOD LIFE EXPERIENCE 29 APRIL - 2 MAY 2021 HAWARDEN ESTATE, FLINTSHIRE A festival of discovery and adventure.

Now in its seventh year, The Good Life Experience on the Hawarden Estate, Flintshire is absolutely unique. Founded by four friends –Cerys Matthews MBE, Steve Abbott and Charlie and Caroline Gladstone- if it fits in with their idea of The Good Life, it features at the festival. Expect to pitch your tent in the shadow of two castles, great locally produced food, axe throwing, foraging, campfire cooking, mass sing-a-longs, over 40 expert craftspeople, comedy, beer served by experts, talks by explorers, a canine circus, raucous music, abseiling, a free 1930s fairground, tree climbing, butchery displays, poetry, literature and endless How To… talks. And everything is aimed at adults and children alike; there aren’t many festivals that truly do that. 29 APRIL - 2 MAY 2021 Tickets on sale now. Dogs welcome. 15 minutes from Chester.
